Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, as far as the current implementation methods of passive phase locking are concerned, the frequency bandwidth of the output laser, and the continued increase in the number of optical paths will greatly increase the complexity of the entire system, so it is difficult to effectively increase the output power; more fiber couplers are required. However, such a fiber coupler is very difficult to manufacture and has a complex structure.

Abstract

The invention discloses a passive-phase-locked fiber ring laser, which relates to a fiber laser and overcomes the shortcomings of wideband output laser, system complexity and low output power of the conventional laser. N wavelength division multiplexers and N couplers of the laser are distributed on a ring at intervals, and are connected by N fiber Bragg gratings and N active single mode fibers. N pump sources are connected with the N wavelength division multiplexers respectively. One ends of the N single mode fibers are connected with the N couplers respectively, and the other end faces of the N single mode fibers are positioned in the same plane, and are arranged into a line, a hexagon, a rectangle or a triangle. The pump sources input pump energy into the active single mode fibers through the wavelength division multiplexers, generated laser signals are output by the single mode fibers connected with the couplers, and a plurality of paths of laser are coherently synthesized, so that narrow frequency spectrum and high power are ensured. The passive-phase-locked fiber ring laser is applied in the fields of industrial machining and national defense.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fiber laser, which is suitable for fields requiring high laser output power and good beam quality, such as industrial cutting and military affairs. Background technique [0002] Lasers have attracted widespread attention since their inception, and research on high-power lasers has progressed rapidly in recent years. At present, high-power fiber lasers are widely used in industrial fields such as precision welding and cutting, and show broad application prospects in the military field. In recent years, the output power of fiber lasers has increased rapidly, and various methods for increasing laser output power have been proposed. [0003] First of all, fiber lasers based on cladding pumping technology have attracted widespread attention due to their good beam quality, high conversion efficiency, and compact structure. In 2004, the single-fiber output power of fiber lasers reached the kilowatt level. In 2009, IPG reported tha...
